Why I chose Muliro Gardens, not Nairobi - Moses Wetangula

- Ford-K leader and Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula has said that choosing Muliro Gardens, in Kakamega county, for his presidential bid launch had historical significance and should not be seen as a tribal move. He said that he would launch his manifesto in Nairobi later in 2016

- The Cord co-principal is set to launch his presidential bid on Saturday, April 2. His co-principals Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka are expected to attend

It is at the same venue that, way back in 1992, Martin Shikuku declared that he would support Kenneth Matiba's presidential bid. Matiba came second after the then president Daniel Moi. Moi's successor Mwai Kibaki was third followed by Jaramogi Oginga Odinga.

In 2002, Ford Kenya’s Michael Kijana Wamalwa went to Muliro Gardens to rally the Luhya community behind Kibaki.

Bungoma Senator said that his activities would not end in Kakamega as he would have another event to launch his manifesto in Nairobi.
